I've always been interested in physics and the major impact that it has, and has had on the world. The problem for me, is that up until now, I've had a very difficult time understanding the material presented in most books on the subject. This book, however, while certainly very short and basic, does help to explain some of the major theories, without your needing a background in the sciences to comprehend. While I've read many books on the subject, in almost all cases, I haven't been able to get through them. This one is an exception, as it's designed as a very basic primer.
Clearly written and understandable for the layman, this book provides insights that will leave you wanting for more thorough explanations. Since many of the most important theories and discoveries of the past 100 or so years revolve around an understanding of physics, the material in this book is very important to know. The principles of theoretical physics have had profound impacts on society, both very good and horrendously bad. Acquiring a basic understanding of an extremely complex subject isn't easy. In that regard, this book helps out. Now that I've finished it, I'll be looking for additional books that's are also basic, but somewhat more substantial than this one was.
